Strawberries are on the vines, herbs like mint and rosemary and basil are bustin' loose. There's squash and cantaloupe and cucumber out in my garden. And today, I put garden soil in some bushel baskets and planted some quick-harvest bush beans. They should be on my plate in about 40 days.
So much to love about summer at the cottage, not the least of which would be Tracker rides, my grandbaby, and my cute new-ish cowboy hat. I wear it when we take those top-down rides, and when I work outside in the sun. It is made of straw, and Tim thinks I'm adorable in it. That trademark cowboy hat-brim dips low in front, keeping me from squinting overmuch. I caught a glimpse of myself the other day, in the window reflection...hat, skirt, tank top...and purple rubber gardening boots.
(my Mother's Day gift from Sarah, and I use them pretty much every day, lately!)
Today it was cut-off shorts, T-shirt, hat, and those purple gardening boots.
Oh, dear. My grandbaby is way, way, way cuter.
This shot taken by his momma (my daughter), with my Nikon, just this past week. Hannah takes better pictures with my camera than I take with my camera.
Cute, or what??
This shot was taken on daddy Justin's birthday. I think this boy makes all our hearts ache with pure joy.It rocks to be me, in spite of the fact that I wear purple garden boots and cowboy hats.
Oh, and summer has become my favorite season! If you only knew...that is huge. Autumn has been my favorite time of year all my life, previously. Summer is my husband's favorite season, and the sentiment was never shared by me. But the song of the cicada and garden chores and gardening boots and long days and Tracker rides on summer nights have won my heart.

Love this post... I was telling Mrs. Mary the other day about how I used to HATE the Summer until I moved in last year while pregnant and spent it gardening and such with you after work.
